Currently on the market for new audio hardware, headset and mic. Gaming hardware manufacturers often come with their own software that doesn't run well on Linux.

How do you decide what hardware to buy and you can be sure it will work with your OS?

I am currently looking to get Bluetooth headphones but still am unsure about the mic solution, a fixed mic on the desk seems so uncomfortable and a clip-on mic often also comes with it's own software or Android app.

What audio setup does Lemmy use with their Linux setup?

I second this mostly.

Just need to make sure you look in the science backed audiophile places and not the cable lift snake oil sections
